Barcelona Sunset Sailing with Gin Tonic Workshop Option

2.Barcelona Sunset Sailing with Gin Tonic Workshop Option

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 16 reviews · from $101

Sail Barcelona at sunset on a luxury boat, with skyline views, drinks, snacks, and an optional gin tonic workshop.

“NO GIN AND TONICS!! 😡 This activity was characterized in a very misleading fashion. There were no gin and tonics on this excursion—contrary to the name of the activity. Turns out that’s available only on Fridays. I must have missed this on the fine print. Also, no swimming. Even though the description told is to bring towels and swim suits. Despite all that, the actual activity was lovely. We cruised around Barcelona Bay, sipping wine and beer. But it was not what we expected or what we paid for.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $155

Create cocktails with an expert mixologist while sailing past Barcelona’s harbor, W Hotel, Montjuïc, and Sagrada Família in a small group.

“We had a great cocktail host and captain. Both were very friendly and got to enjoy making amazing, unique cocktails on the boat with a wide variety of snacks before. We enjoyed a great tour of the harbor by the captain and left the bay to see the sunset around us. They took great pictures of us and gave us great Barcelona recommendations for food/drink after the tour as well as places to go. I would high;y recommend this for couples or for a group of 3+ friends.”
